Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Engineering Education

Abstract

The twenty-first century poses several grand challenges: clean water, clean air, climate change, energy, biodiversity, and sustainability. We need to invent, innovate, and entrepreneurially implement solutions to solve the mega problems. The solutions to these problems will not be solved by a select few. Billions all over the world will have to contextualize the solutions to their problems and implement them. As we democratize innovation and entrepreneurship, the twenty-first-century Engineering Colleges will play a central role in inventing, innovating, and educating entrepreneurially students who can solve problems. We need Engineering Colleges all over the world to be involved in the process.
